Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to styrene block copolymer and preparation method thereof.The present invention relates to coupled styrenic block copolymers and preparation method thereof especially.
Background technology
The preparation of segmented copolymer is known.In synthetic method, use initiator compounds to cause a kind of monomeric polymerization.Allow reaction to carry out, be consumed up to all monomers, thereby cause active homopolymer.In this active homopolymer, add and chemically be different from second kind of monomer of first kind.The activity end of first polymkeric substance serves as continuation polymeric site, thereby second kind of monomer is incorporated in the simple linear polymer as different blocks.So the block polymer of growth is active, until be terminated.
Termination makes the active end group of segmented copolymer change into the material of non-growth, thereby makes polymkeric substance not react all the other monomers.So the terminated polymkeric substance often is called as Synthetic rubber, isoprene-styrene, hydrogenated, block, diblock.Perhaps, reactive block copolymers can react with the polyfunctional group condensing agent that often is called as coupling agent.The coupling of active end group causes having the star polymer of at least two side chains, and wherein side chain often is called as " arm " in the art.
